To support direct car battery connection and to withstand 40V transient, load dump conditions, most of our automotive ICs are built on a CMOS process technology developed specifically for automotive applications: FTSMC35HV.
Jointly developed by Dialog, Bosch and TSMC, FTSMC35HV is based on a commercial grade 0.35µ technology, to which is added a high voltage extension which offers 40V n-channel and 20V and 40V p-channel extended drain MOS transistors.
To meet the need for both 40V handling and non-volatile memory, process modifications in the embedded flash IP also extends its operational temperature range and dramatically improves endurance. Embedded Flash uses split gate cell design and a thick gate oxide and integrates forward error correction.
Process available for at least 10 years, our FTSMC35HV process is qualified for use over the temperature range –40ºC to +150ºC (AEC Q100 Grade 0) and has passed the Bosch automotive qualification (<0.5ppm program).
